We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Kitching Creek Trail yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Kitching Creek Trail
“Easy trail, a bit wet though.”
Nice flat and easy trail. Good for young ones and old folks. Trail ends at a wood overlook of the creek. I walked it in 15 minutes, one way.
Had a great time walking this trail and the paths that connect to it. Seen lots of wildlife and birds. Peaceful.
Easy, flat and beautiful trail. There are wooden number markers that correspond to a tidbit of information about the trail so be sure to read along as you go. Good trail for children, my sons enjoyed it.
Nice loop trail following Kitching Creek. This creek used to connect to the headwaters of the St.Lucie river.
